The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.

An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.

So finish the thing.

I got an Apple Watch for Christmas and just got my first phone call while wearing it. Straight up had a conversation with my mom on my watch. It was the first time in a long time that I really, truly felt like I was LIVING IN THE FUTURE™️

Blew my my mind.

My feed: Full of talented writers, artists, directors, and massively creative and brilliant people.

Also my feed: Hey, y'all. Here's a robot kicking its controller in the balls. We're just gonna keep sharing it over and over and over.

This is not a criticism.

A reminder that the key to writing is getting the very best out of your brain, but in order to get the best out of it you have to take care of your mental health. Stress, concern, and depression will take a toll on your work. So always make sure to take care of YOU and you'll get your best work.

Some of you are grinding or suffering anxiety because you're not going to make your self-imposed New Years deadline on your manuscript.

Stop. Take a deep breath.

Targets motivate you to get the words out, but the minute that motivation feels bad is when it poisons the well. Finish when you finish.

Welcome to SURREAL WEEK, where calories don't count, drinking is governed by airport rules, no one cares how you're dressed, and marathoning old movies is the norm. You have until January 5th when doing absolutely fucking nothing becomes embarrassing again. Do nothing with it wisely.

My first literary agent was a scam like this. Cost me hundreds of dollars over two years (when I was dirt poor) and only got me on the desks of places I could have submitted to on my own. Real agents are betting on your success, not charging you to access it.
Ok, since this has come up four times in the last three days:

REPUTABLE LITERARY AGENTS WILL NOT CHARGE YOU MONEY.

IF A LITERARY AGENT WANTS TO CHARGE YOU FOR AN "EXPEDITED ACCESS PACKAGE" THIS IS A SCAM.

Authors been dunking on this all day, but let me say to my fellow white men: there are roughly 95M of us in America. NINETY. FIVE. MILLION. If you can't answer the question of what makes YOU unique in the year of our Lord 2025, during peak Attention Economy, God help you cause less diversity won't.
This shit is made up, actually

My favorite part of this TOTALLY NOT MADE UP STORY (SHUT UP IT REALLY HAPPENED) is when a white guy goes to an in person convention and is asked by several attendees, IN PERSON, whether what makes him special is that he’s black.

I always drive across town to my in-laws every Christmas and every year it is a surreal experience of empty streets. A huge city absolutely dead at twelve noon.

Today? FILLED with Waymos. Waymos everywhere. Which made it strangely even more surreal. No one on the streets but me and the robots.

My true Christmas wish - the thing I hold most hopeful in my heart - is that each and every one of you has a better 2026 than you had in 2025. May the fates be generous and kind and you all receive the blessings you all so richly deserve. Merry Christmas and much love to you all.
